"If I had a $1 for every propoerty owner that would not allow me to deploy broadband to an inquiring prospect, I'd be a millionaire."
Wow Tom, if even remotely true this should be a glaring indicator of something very wrong with your approach. I understand that a "pinch of story additive" may help make your point when frustrated, but dilute your claim down from 1,000,000 to 10,000, 1,000 or even 100 and I still don't think we've been turned away 100 times in the ten years we've been deploying fixed wireless. Maybe comments you've made like "I'll legally force you to allow me, or buy me an alternative" are rubbing the property owner's the wrong way? I dunno....just a stab in the dark...

I want to put an antenna on the roof, and its the only way to get broadband there, and the property manager says "no". I now say "YOU need to let me because its my legal right to have it". I'll legally force you to allow me, or buy me an alternative. What it really needs to read is "Americans have the LEGAL RIGHT to Broadband of CHOICE". Now that would be a good thing for competition.. Or "Americans have Legal Right to BRoadband of Choice, without excessive fees charged by third parties at a rate higher than they'd charge other broadband providers for delivering broadband." Could you imaging if Wireless PRoviders could pull Roof easements with the same power as ILECs pull ground easements? If I had a $1 for every propoerty owner that would not allow me to deploy broadband to an inquiring prospect, I'd be a millionaire. Or atleast my sales reps wouldn't always get discouraged and quit.
